Why is giving multiple addresses a problem?

No control over which source address is used. I'm assigning a lot of clients DHCP reservations so I can use static addresses for monitoring and firewall rules. With multiple addresses on the same network, clients may use their SLAAC address which won't match the firewall rule.
